Our Philosophy

We believe that patients deserve to be offered the best advice that science can provide on the diagnosis and treatment of their cancer.

If we do not have access to the relevant technology (eg a new anti-cancer drug), we will find out where it may be obtained. This would possibly involve the patient looking at a clinical trial.

However we also believe that advice and care should be given in a sympathetic way that recognises the patient’s perspective. Any management or treatment plan is always the result of a dialogue between the specialist and the patient where the patient’s views are integral in the process of arriving at a decision.

We have always practised medicine in such a way that gives the greatest respect to the patient’s needs and concerns.

This recognition of what is needed, of course, extends to include the patient’s family and carers if that is what the patient desires.
